A hole is cut in the ice in the middle of a large lake . The ice is 10m thick . What length of rope is required to scoop up a bucket full of water?

i didnt understand the question plz can u xplain

lets see the ice is 10m thick

u want a bucketfull water

if u belive in having success in dippin the bucket into the water, urequire atleast 11m of rope, 1 extar to hold onto the rope......

b.t.w where did u get this question

from sample paper of a coaching institute..!!

pls ignor my prvious reply

i thought it 2 be a joke now i realize the quest can be answered

actually ¾ of ice is below water surface and remainin above

hence u will require ¼(10)=2.5m rope minimum

pls approve if correct............

b.t.w nice scenery

The ans. is 1m..!! Plzz..try my othr queries plzz ..!!
